I had a job I needed done at the house. It was filling in a big hole with gravel and move some big rocks with an excavator so water wouldn't wash out gravel. Had a couple of guys up to look. One guy couldn't do it and the other guy could do it in a month or two. In the meantime, things happened at work and I left to go back to school for 2 years. Told the guy about it and said I wouldn't be gettin the job done for a couple of years. One day that fall he arrives with his riggin' and says that he has some time to do that job. He says I can pay him when I get outta of school. Says knew my granddad and his word was good so mine should be too. I tried to convince him that I could wait but he insisted. He did the job on a hand shake that I would pay him in a couple of years!!!!! Luckily I got a good job lined up before I graduated and I worked some hard to pay him by the middle of that summer. When I arrived with the cash, he said I didn't mean you had to pay me all at once. Can you believe it???
That guy will do any job for me and I always pay him within 30 days.
All because of a hand shake!!
